Differences between Wine and Proton?
I am aware that Proton is a modified version of Wine with a bunch of stuff added. However, I am unsure as to precise differences between the two. I have three questions:
- What has been added to Proton to differentiate it from Wine?
- Is it possible to download packages and such that allow Wine to obtain a similarly level of compatibility to Proton?
- Beyond potential non-FOSS code, is there a reason that Proton's improved compatibility isn't present in Wine already?

turing architecture on linux?
I've been looking for a gpu to run on linux. I have a tight budget, but I'd like to get into PCVR, so I'd need something around the ballpark of a gtx1060 or sthng like that.
I've found second hand for around the same price an rx580 (8gb) and a 1660 super (6gb). Of course, the 1660 is the better in performance and in transcoding (I'm using a quest for VR, the encoder on radeon gpus is supposed to be worse), plus it's probably not been mined on, but I'm worried about running older nvidias on linux.
How is the support for turing generation cards looking on linux? Should I just settle for the rx580?

Swapping to Linux
Hello there! So Microsoft has been acting up recently, and I have been thinking about swapping to Linux. I play games a lot (I have an alienware aurora 16x laptop), and it just seems like the perfect swap. I like CachyOS, because of the community and performance.
Is it worth it to make the swap?
Oh and also the only reason I didnt swap yet is the anti cheat in some games.

I need some advice for gaming
I will install LinuxMint on my desktop today, and I want to use it for gaming, the only game I play is Risk of Rain 2 modded, and I need advice of any and every kind of program, library or some other type of application that I can install to run my game the best possible.
I know I need Proton, Wine and Bottles, but I probably should install something more to suit-up my computer.
The modding program I use has support for Linux (R2modman)
My specs are:
Biostar H6IMLv2 motherboard
GTX 1050 NVIDIA
4gb DDR3 RAM
Intel core i3 processor
I can use the terminal if necessary
thanks in advance!! Edit:
Forgot to ask how do I set a specific NVIDIA driver

Modding Skyrim help: which exact options should I click on when setting up Mod Manager 2?
I've recently been watching this video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9C5G5GKd5Y, which massively helps me with the git hub download of the Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer?tab=readme-ov-file (I know there's an upcoming Nexus Mod Manager, but I prefer to use MO2). As I'm going through the installation, some of the prompts had be wonder which exact options should I choose.
Plugin Half 1 (which ones should I choose? I hope to get LOOT installed for Load order help)
Plugin Half 2 (which ones should I choose? I hope to get LOOT installed for Load order help)
I'm sorry to bother you guys. But I really could use some advice, especially as someone still learning the ropes of Linux. I'd be grateful :)

GTX 970 user forced to leave Nobara. Distro suggestions?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Nobara for a while and really enjoying it, but I just saw the PSA that NVIDIA is dropping support for the 10-series and older (Maxwell architecture) with the upcoming 590 drivers. Since Nobara has confirmed they won't be supporting legacy driver branches, my GTX 970 is effectively on unsupported.
I’m a student on a very tight budget, so upgrading my GPU isn't an option right now. I need to keep this 970 running as long as possible.
Which distro would you recommend that makes it easy to pin/stay on the NVIDIA 570/550 legacy drivers while still being good for gaming?

Nobara issues
Ok i tested many versions of linux and they worked great to install with no problems but nobara is the only version that i installed and after install doesnt show the linux in grub menu (appears only my windows 11).
I tried catchy os, pop os,linux mint,fedora, ubuntu and so on and this is the only version that i have problems:(
Any ideas?
